Former Head of State, Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd).

Former Military Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar, has revealed he was admitted to the same hospital in London, United Kingdom, as former President Muhammadu Buhari.

The former military ruler said that he learned of Buhari’s death after he had been discharged.

“Unfortunately, we were in the hospital together, but I have been discharged,” he said.

“When I heard the news of his death, I quickly went there to condole with the family and see what could be done to get the corpse ready to be taken home.”

“My relationship with Buhari goes as far back as 1962. We joined the military, he was my senior and during the unfortunate civil war we were fighting in the same sector. Gen Buhari was a gentleman; he was very quiet and sincere.

You can trust Buhari with anything on this earth and he will not betray you,” he added.
